Principal's Message
Our classroom teachers and school staff have started teaching students about our STAR principles in their classrooms. We are recognizing our students who follow our STAR principles by handing out wildcat paw tickets. These tickets allow students an opportunity to have their name drawn in a raffle to win prizes. We are so proud of all the STAR behavior we are seeing in our classrooms.

Learning Snapshot
Our Kindergarten friends are working on independent reading. As we continue to explore concepts of print and how to hold our books while we are reading, we are gradually increasing the amount of time students can read independently. They are doing a fantastic job!
1st grade is working on developing positive reading habits and building friendships through group work in the classroom.

Principal's Book Recommendation
"Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert is a book that I recommend every fall. This book has beautiful photographs of fall leaves, and students can go make their own leaf creations after reading this story.
